Yemen Minister Gives Award to Country's Dwindling Jewish Population

FSWC Reports:

From the Associated Press:

Yemen's culture minister, who was recently honored for her work
combatting extremism and discrimination against women, says she is
giving her award to Yemen's dwindling Jewish population.

Arwa Othman won Human Rights Watch's Alison Des Forges Award in
September. At a Thursday celebration in Sanaa, Othman called for
"tolerance" and dedicated her award to "brothers and friends from the
Jewish community."
